Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-7622:
-------------------------------------------

{quote}You have 1 cell per attribute of each metric? theres currently 63 
metrics with between 1 and 15 values - literally hundreds of cells per row 
which isnt viewable on a sane display.
{quote}
This is a display problem not a schema problem. If you take the case of CQLSH 
you can simply use {{EXPAND ON}} to print the output vertically.
{quote}I do have to say though, this ticket has been 4 years of bikeshedding, 
kinda unfortunate timing to wait until theres an implementation in review to do 
it from scratch instead of giving feedback.

All my apologies.
 I can understand your frustration. Now, the story is a bit different from what 
you seem believe. In 2015, I decided to work on that ticket and assigned it to 
me. Due to some priority changes, I did not manage to work on it and got 
unassigned. Around mid-February, I wanted to come back to that ticket. At that 
time it was assigned to Jeff and I knew he was not actively working on it. I 
decided to create a patch on the DSE side. One month later the patch was in 
review on our side and at the same time you updated this ticket.

I had some offline discussion with [~iamaleksey] this morning and he also has 
some concerns about my patch. I will try to port the refactoring part of the 
patch and the API used to plug {{SystemViews}} for next week. Once, it is done 
it will be easier for everybody to judge what is good or bad about it. 
Hopefully, we can end up with a solution that satisfy everybody.

> There are a variety of reasons to want virtual tables, which would be any 
> table that would be backed by an API, rather than data explicitly managed and 
> stored as sstables.
> One possible use case would be to expose JMX data through CQL as a 
> resurrection of CASSANDRA-3527.
> Another is a more general framework to implement the ability to expose yaml 
> configuration information. So it would be an alternate approach to 
> CASSANDRA-7370.
> A possible implementation would be in terms of CASSANDRA-7443, but I am not 
> presupposing.
